Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the affected mediacapture-main specification at https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/. Trace how the tool processes the dfn for the partial Navigator interface and determine where redefinition is accepted. Done means the tool refuses or errors when a partial interface name is redefined across specifications.
